Do cows have hooves?

A:

Quick Answer

Cattle are even-toed ungulates or hoofed animals that are classified as artiodactyls, which is an herbivorous order of mammals that have cloven feet. They bear their weight equally on their third and fourth toes, unlike horses that are odd-toed ungulates and bear their weight entirely on their third toes.
